Last week Robin Windsor and his celebrity partner Lisa Riley again wowed the audience with their sexy Samba to ‘Car Wash’. Who saw THAT ending coming?!
But before becoming Strictly’s latest heart throb, Robin had a successful career in the immensely popular dance company, Burn The Floor.
Robin spent 9 years with them and during this time completed two world tours. After this he joined Dancing with the Stars Australia and So You Think You Can Dance in Holland. Then he took to the Strictly stage in 2010 with celebrity partner Patsy Kensit, staying in the competition for a full 9 weeks.
And if you’d like to get up close and personal with Robin and his professional partner Kristina Rihanoff then join us next year at our Robin & Kristina Weekend Dance Break at the Village Premier Hotel & Leisure Club, Manchester Saturday 23rd – Sunday 24th February 2013.
You’re never too young to learn to dance. That’s what the team at Donaheys Dance School in Manchester embrace at their weekly Junior Dance Clubs for youngsters aged 4 – 13. As a special pre-Christmas treat, your kids can join as many of the dance sessions every week for a one-off weekly payment of £5. Santa must be feeling generous.
Classes are great fun and children learn all the latest dances in one class. These include all the fab-u-lous dances seen on hit TV show Strictly Come Dancing, the popular One Direction and bizarre new Gangnam Style as well as Little Mix, StreetDance, Disco, Zumba and more.
Children can join in the fun at one of Donaheys Junior Dance Club sessions as many times as they want to in a week all for £5. The dance classes last for one hour. This great offer is available for the next 6 weeks (13th November – 24th December).
Youngsters will get expert tuition and enjoy themselves at the same time. The classes aren’t just for those who love to dance though, as they also help children to develop rhythm, co-ordination and self-confidence. Of course they also keep your little cherubs active. So if you are keen to get your youngsters away from the TV and electronic gadgets, bring them along!
Whilst a recent survey* showed that dance was a favourite outside-school activity for girls, Donaheys classes welcome boys too.
If you’d like to know more, come along to one of the classes and see for yourself and be sure to bring your off-springs with you. There’s no need to book.

Our Dancing with the Stars Weekends have been selling out since 2004, ever since Strictly Come Dancing first waltzed on to our screens, and just like the show we’re going from strength to strength.
Fab-u-lous venues!
Part of what makes our Dancing with the Stars Weekends so special are the amazing venues we can offer our clients. Our venues include the Beaumont Estate Hotel, Berkshire, Celtic Manor Resort, Newport & Alton Towers Resort, Stafford.
And the Strictly stars love our venues just as much as we do:
“Paul, you’re such a Superstar for organising such fabulous events. We love doing shows here, it’s such a great crowd and you’re so lucky to have such a wonderful venue.” Anton Du Beke
All our Dancing with the Stars Weekend packages include bed and breakfast so you can prepare yourself for the day ahead with a hearty breakfast and know that there’ll be a comfortable bed waiting for you once you’ve danced the night away.
